This day's glass is not to be filled with a beverage but a foodie considered the perfect snack. It's a tasty layered treat that may contain granola, nuts, yogurt, fresh fruits, and whip cream. Pudding can be substituted for the yogurt with chocolate shavings added for texture and flavor. Bits of cookies could be added for extra crunch if not into granola. Watching those calories? Try cottage cheese instead of the whipped cream or maybe your favorite flavored Jello. Want a little extra 'kick'? Don't throw away that day old bread...cut into cubes, soak with whisked sugar and rum. Then, celebrate!
